The world is split into two kinds of people, those who would go out for a drink with John Lennon, and those who`d choose Paul McCartney ... After the Beatles came back from India, Lennon wrote `Happiness Is a Warm Gun` and McCartney wrote `Ob-La-Di, Ob-La...
Paul Bettany
I remember the bad outfits my parents dressed me up in and my Beatles haircut but I never watched "The Brady Bunch" (1969). The Partridges? I hated their music.
Paul Anderson
[about his early drumming years with The Beatles] I started to be an engineer but I banged me thumb on the first day. I became a drummer because it was the only thing I could do. But whenever I hear another drummer I know I`m no good. [John Lennon] taught...
Ringo Starr
We were kind of disciples of Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix) and The Beatles, particularly the way they used studios almost like an instrument, but obviously we had more technology than they had had, so we could push things a lot further.
Brian May
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn`t argue about that, I`m right and will be proved right. We`re (the Beatles) more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It`s them twisting it that ru...
John Lennon
You`re not going to call The Rolling Stones artists. I heard somebody compare them - or The Beatles - to Bach [Johann Sebastian Bach]. It was claimed they had created something as memorable and as important as Bach, Haydn [Joseph Haydn], Mozart [Wolfgang ...
Marlon Brando
Somebody said to me, [The Beatles] were anti-materialistic.` That`s a huge myth. [John Lennon] and I literally used to sit down and say, `Now, let`s write a swimming pool.`
Paul McCartney
I like a fair bit of what the Oasis do. They remind me of Beatles (The Beatles).... a great band and I like being reminded of Beatles. If you were there the first time round, you might think the Oasis were a bit similar, what with that Liam and his attitu...
Phil Collins

Phil Collins
If I go to see a Beatles film, I want it to be weird and artistic and interesting and experimental and psychedelic and dark at times and also beautiful -- and that`s what this is. - On Across the Universe.
Evan Wood
He`s very independent and he`s breaking out more and more. He`s found something stronger than the Beatles, though he still wants them to share it.
Pattie Boyd
I was playing guitar before I heard The Beatles, but as I got older and listened to their tunes I realised they were amazing. They inspire me more now than they did when I was a kid and are still the greatest.
Noel Gallagher
There`s been a big change in the music field in the last 10 or 12 years. I think everything has improved - the sounds have improved, the musicians have improved, the engineers have definitely improved. I like a lot of the new groups, y`know, The Beatles a...
Elvis Presley
I`ve seen those famous Nixon [Richard Nixon] transcripts where Elvis [Elvis Presley] actually starts to try to shop us - The Beatles! He`s in the transcript saying - to Richard Nixon, of all people - `Well, sir, these Beatles, they`re very un-American and...

Paul McCartney
[1966] It`s the thing to do, to tell all the teeny-boppers, "I dig The Beatles" and you sing a song like "Yesterday" or "Michelle". Hey, God knows, it`s such a cop-out, man, both of those songs. If you go into the Library of Congress, you`ll find stuff a ...
Bob Dylan
Once I got sort of quite good then it was `sit down, take a deep breath and attempt to copy the Beatles`, which is very difficult, although I have to say I`ve mastered it to a tee.
Noel Gallagher
You`re always frustrated, you don`t have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.
Bill Wyman
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I`d buy a new album I`d invariably hate it the first time I heard it `cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn`t grasp what they`d done, and I`d hate myself for that.
Andy Partridge
With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I`d been born at the same time as John Lennon, I`d have been up there.
Noel Gallagher
When you think about great teams, The Beatles and the Pythons immediately spring to mind. The Pythons were as much a part of their time as The Beatles.

Robyn Hitchcock
When I was a kid, I went through a lot of musical phases, and one was when I`d learn everything that The Beatles ever recorded. After I started drums, I fell in love with their music so much that I just wanted to learn everything.
Eric Carr
When I first started playing in a band, before the Beatles, working bands played standards and they saved their rock material til the end of the night when they were really stretched out. It could be pretty lame.
Wayne Kramer
